Money tips for snowbirds

Before packing up the car, there are some things you can do to help manage your money while
enjoying the warm climate.

For starters, sign up for online banking and download your bank's app. The app will give you
access to your checking and other bank accounts and you can use the app to pay bills, deposit
checks and send money to anyone in the U.S. from your phone or tablet.

You can even sign up for alerts so that changes in your account will trigger a text message to
your phone.

Finally, set up your accounts so that deposts are made directly into your account and the same
goes for regular bills that can be paid automatically each month.
